RENOVATION DAY 31 : RETILE

I went over yesterday night to check on the carpentry. Obviously i was wearing high heels.... so when i went in to walk around, i can hear some hollow sound from the tiles. So those that use fingers, hands, special tools etc to check for hollowness, the best way is to wear heels and walk round and round.

Why its better?

1) You need to walk around to take photos anyway

2) No need to bend and check one by one so won't hurt your back

3) Won't hurt your fingers or knuckles

4) Definitely faster and more effective

So, while walking around i found 3 tiles that have hollow sound. Today, 2 tilers came redo those tiles plus replace another tile in master toilet, as plumber drill hole wrongly. Also the tiler have to do a box up to over the piping.

For these, i will take picture tomorrow.

RENOVATION DAY 31 : MAIN DOOR

I wanted something special for my main door. Thinking of many designs and finally decided on 1 but my contractor says too difficult to do. So finally chosen something simple... but i still like it cos its a bit metallic shiny....

Tomorrow will have installation of my digital fingerprint lock. then my main door would be PREFECT!!!

Veneer are semi solid, and the pattern are quite standard, ie mostly are wood lines. They are mass produced so you only can choose colours and wood pattern.

For laminated door, then you can choose anything from the tons of sample and any designs you want. ie, you can mix and match anything... so i can have red door if i wanted to. Veneer dont' have this choice. So for more choices, you need to pay more loh. hehehehe...

you contacted my contractor, right? then you ask him loh....

Wah may your house looks Swee - and it's not even completed yet! Everything seems to be going very well - I can't wait to see how your island turns out. You got style (and adventure lol). I really love the way you pay attention to the little things - like the main door and hiding beams etc.

Brilliant! Just take care of yourself. Love the updates but your health comes first yeah?

Hope you will gain some new knowledge from him. Hehe...
